Janitorial Account Manager

At The Budd Group, we don’t just manage facilities; we build leaders!

We are looking for an energetic, "hands-on" Janitorial Account Manager to lead our operations at the prestigious Office Tower in Nashville. This is a pivotal moment as the building returns to full capacity, and we need a coach who can inspire a growing team while maintaining a "premier" standard for our partners at Highwoods Property Management. If you are a relationship-driven professional who thrives on being visible on the floor rather than stuck behind a desk, you’ll fit right in. We work hard, but we make sure the environment stays as bright and polished as the floors we clean—join us and let’s shine together!

• Janitorial Experience, housekeeping, or facility services experience is required 

• Experience: Proven leadership experience in janitorial, commercial cleaning, or facility management is required.

• Technical Literacy: Proficient with computers for managing payroll systems, digital inspections, and reporting.

• Language: Bilingual (English/Spanish) is highly preferred to effectively communicate with the majority of the frontline team.

• Professionalism: Ability to maintain a professional "business casual" presence suitable for a premier Nashville office environment.

• Logistics: Must be punctual, reliable, and comfortable with a 100% in-person work schedule.

• Work-Life Balance: Stable daytime schedule (typically 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM), Monday through Friday.

• Career Pathing: Strong professional development and a clear growth path toward Operations Management.
